Democracy and American Campaign Finance: A Discussion of McCutcheon v. F.E.C.

On November 5, at noon, the UNC Poverty Center and the Carolina Law chapters of the American Constitution Society and the American Civil Liberties Union will host a discussion on the United States Supreme Court’s upcoming case, McCutcheon v. FEC. McCutcheon, exploring whether the aggregate limit on contributions to federal candidates and parties is constitutional, may be the Court’s most significant campaign reform decision since Citizens United. Two of the nation’s leading experts on election law and the first amendment will speak:
